DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a simple conduction test device based on single-chip microcomputer development includes a chassis 1. Inside the chassis 1, there is a single-chip microcomputer 14. On the chassis 1, there is a test board 11 and a limiting and fixing mechanism for the PCB board to be tested. The test board 11 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer 14 through a cable 12.
[0028] The test board 11 is fixedly installed on the chassis 1 with screws. A circuit is formed between any two spring probes according to the pin definition of the PCB designer, which is a test output state. There are N spring probes 5, N - 1 LED lights 4 and a test board electrical connection port on the test board 11. The spring probes 5 are in contact with the PIN feet of the PCB board 6 to be tested. The spring probes are only used to connect the current of the PCB board to be tested. The LED lights are installed on the test board. The LED lights 4 are connected to the single-chip microcomputer 14 through the test board electrical connection port. The signal and power supply are controlled by the single-chip microcomputer. The LED lights 4 are used to display the test results. Each LED light 4 represents a different test channel. Whether each channel is abnormal is shown by the on and off of the LED light 4. On indicates that the channel corresponding to the LED light 4 is normal, and off indicates that the channel corresponding to the LED light 4 is abnormal. The test board electrical connection port is connected to the electrical interface of the single-chip microcomputer 14. The test board electrical connection port is used for power supply connection and signal transmission between the single-chip microcomputer 14 and the test board 11.
[0029] The single-chip microcomputer 14 supplies power to the test board 11 and controls its signal. The single-chip microcomputer 14 is used to scan each channel, perform arithmetic storage, and control the signal of the LED lights 4 on the test board 11. The single-chip microcomputer 14 transmits signals to the test board 11 through the cable 12.
[0030] Specifically, the single-chip microcomputer 14 scans and supplies power to each channel circuit between the PIN feet of the PCB board 6 to be tested and the spring probes 5, that is, detects the current or voltage difference, records the scanning results, and compares the scanning results with the design schematic diagram of the PCB board 6 to be tested. If the on and off of the test channel is consistent with the design channel, the corresponding channel LED light 4 is driven to light up as an indication mark, as Figure 3 shown. If the on and off of the test channel is inconsistent with the design channel, the corresponding channel LED light 4 is not driven to light up as an indication mark.
[0031] There is a three-color light 7 and a counter 13 on the chassis 1. The single-chip microcomputer 14 is respectively connected to the three-color light 7 and the counter 13 through a terminal block 15 to control the test process to display the working state and start / stop / reset, and drive the counter. The three-color light 7 is used to indicate three states: running, stopping, and alarming. Green indicates the running state, yellow indicates the stopping state, and red indicates the alarming state. The counter 13 is used to record the number of PCB boards tested. The counter 13 is a digital display counter. Each time the single-chip microcomputer 14 completes the power supply connection scanning of the PCB board 6 to be tested and resets to stop, the digital display counter counts once, which is convenient for the tester to count.
[0032] The limiting and fixing mechanism for the PCB board to be tested includes a pressing plate base, a pressing plate 8 and a pin 10. The pressing plate 8 is hinged to the pressing plate base, the pressing plate base is fixed on the chassis 1, and the pin 10 is fixed on the test board. When the PCB board 6 to be tested is not placed, the pin 10 is below the pressing plate 8. Through the limiting and fixing mechanism for the PCB board to be tested, the PCB board 6 to be tested can be conveniently placed and taken out.
[0033] Both the pressing plate base and the pressing plate are above the spring probe end on the test board to prevent the pressing plate from blocking the LED lamp.
[0034] The pressing plate 8 is Y-shaped. There is a spring 9 between the end of the vertical part of the pressing plate 8 and the pressing plate base. The fitting space formed by the two bifurcated ends extending from the vertical part of the pressing plate 8 matches the size of the PCB board 6 to be tested, so that the two bifurcated ends extending from the vertical part of the pressing plate 8 can press on both ends of the PCB board 6 to be tested, preventing the PCB board 6 to be tested from shaking or displacing.
[0035] The chassis 1 is also provided with a stop button 2 and a start button 3. Both the stop button 2 and the start button 3 are connected to the wiring terminal 15 of the single-chip microcomputer 14 through wires, so as to realize the start-stop and reset control of the test process.
[0036] The single-chip microcomputer 14 adopts the 80C51 series, which is a conventional module to reduce the cost of the whole set of devices.
[0037] The usage method of the present utility model is as follows:
[0038] A. Press the vertical part of the pressing plate 8, place the PCB board 6 to be tested on the test board 11, limit it through the pin 10, and then release the vertical part of the pressing plate 8. Under the action of the spring 9, the two bifurcated ends extending from the vertical part of the pressing plate 8 press on both ends of the PCB board 6 to be tested, so that the PIN feet of the PCB board 6 to be tested are in one-to-one contact with the spring probes 5 on the test board 11;
[0039] B. Press the start button 3. At this time, the three-color lamp 7 shows a green light, indicating that the device is in the working and running state;
[0040] C. When the three-color lamp 7 shows yellow, read the detection result according to the on-off of the LED lamp 4. On indicates that the channel corresponding to the LED lamp 4 is normal, and off indicates that the channel corresponding to the LED lamp 4 is abnormal;
[0041] D. Record whether the PCB board 6 to be tested is qualified or not, mark the abnormal channel, and complete the detection of this PCB board 6 to be tested;
[0042] E. Press the vertical part of the pressing plate 8, take off the PCB board 6 to be tested and classify and sort it according to whether it is qualified or not;
[0043] F. Repeat steps A to E until the detection of all PCB boards to be tested is completed.
[0044] The utility model not only has the conduction test function for PCB short circuit and open circuit, but also can judge which channel has abnormal conduction. Moreover, it is convenient to operate, simple in structure, low in cost and has strong practicability.
[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
